The Three De’s of Mandarin Chinese: 的/得/地 [Elementary]

Today we look at some of the most common characters in the Chinese language: 的 (HSK1), 得 (HSK2), and, 地 (HSK3). These little particles show up in almost every sentence in Chinese, and modify the sentence in some way. However, because they are all pronounced the same (de), it can be very confusing. In this video lesson, we attempt to explain the difference by using lots of example sentences and pretty little color-coded graphics. Take your time with this one, or watch chapter by chapter. ================
